of_o man_n therefore_o we_o may_v well_o conclude_v it_o be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o scripture_n by_o ordination_n of_o god_n for_o mark_v what_o the_o apostle_n say_v as_o moses_n be_v faithful_a in_o

the_o two_o table_n of_o stone_n be_v a_o evident_a argument_n of_o the_o morality_n of_o it_o for_o as_o a_o reverend_n divine_a say_v not_o to_o think_v the_o four_o commandment_n to_o be_v moral_a be_v the_o way_n to_o all_o atheism_n for_o if_o one_o shall_v say_v the_o four_o commandment_n be_v not_o moral_a but_o ceremonial_a another_o may_v step_v up_o the_o next_o year_n and_o say_v the_o

to_o all_o age_n a_o four_o argument_n be_v this_o the_o lord_n do_v urge_v this_o commandment_n reas_n 4_o more_o than_o any_o other_o commandment_n in_o the_o decalogue_n so_o that_o a_o man_n may_v

4._o it_o be_v negative_o deliver_v and_o affirmative_o the_o other_o deliver_v only_o one_o way_n either_o affirmative_o only_a as_o the_o five_o honour_v thy_o father_n and_o mother_n or_o else_o

in_o infinite_a wisdom_n because_o he_o have_v not_o write_v this_o commandment_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n therefore_o the_o lord_n do_v urge_v it_o more_o with_o

than_o we_o have_v reas_n 5_o not_o ten_o moral_a commandment_n there_o be_v but_o nine_o now_o this_o be_v false_a for_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o commandment_n be_v ten_o as_o

first_o writing_n the_o ten_o commandment_n which_o the_o lord_n speak_v unto_o you_o in_o the_o mount_n out_o of_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o fire_n the_o lord_n speak_v ten_o commandment_n now_o if_o

or_o new_a moon_n or_o feast_v of_o tabernacle_n whatsoever_o holy_a day_n he_o do_v institute_v it_o be_v a_o whole_a day_n and_o not_o a_o part_n of_o a_o day_n therefore_o much_o more_o this_o solemn_a day_n again_o the_o judgement_n of_o all_o divine_n in_o all_o age_n have_v be_v concern_v a_o whole_a day_n i_o can_v instance_n in_o the_o father_n as_o in_o irenaeus_n who_o say_v we_o be_v to_o continue_v in_o the_o sabbath_n all_o the_o day_n long_o for_o the_o lord_n have_v require_v all_o the_o day_n to_o be_v keep_v holy_a unto_o he_o and_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n have_v always_o keep_v a_o whole_a day_n so_o saint_n austin_n say_v it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o we_o keep_v three_o or_o four_o hour_n of_o the_o day_n but_o that_o we_o rest_v the_o whole_a day_n and_o what_o rest_n not_o only_o to_o rest_v from_o our_o bodily_a labour_n for_o the_o beast_n keep_v this_o sabbath_n nor_o the_o rest_n of_o sport_n and_o pastime_n for_o that_o be_v the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o golden_a calf_n they_o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o rise_v up_o to_o play_v no_o but_o that_o thou_o may_v be_v vacant_a to_o god_n all_o the_o day_n in_o prayer_n and_o serve_v of_o he_o so_o in_o the_o council_n of_o mexicon_n there_o be_v a_o assembly_n of_o minister_n out_o of_o all_o nation_n in_o christendom_n and_o they_o ordain_v a_o canon_n concern_v the_o lord_n day_n we_o ordain_v that_o people_n keep_v the_o whole_a lord_n day_n holy_a and_o that_o they_o set_v themselves_o the_o whole_a day_n to_o pray_v to_o god_n and_o delight_n in_o god_n and_o hear_v his_o word_n and_o if_o a_o countryman_n servant_n break_v this_o day_n his_o punishment_n shall_v be_v to_o be_v beat_v with_o severe_a blow_n ictubus_fw-la graviâ—ribus_fw-la be_v the_o very_a word_n of_o the_o council_n and_o if_o a_o lawyer_n offer_v to_o plead_v this_o day_n he_o shall_v not_o have_v the_o benefit_n of_o his_o plead_n or_o case_n and_o if_o a_o minister_n break_v this_o day_n he_o shall_v be_v excommunicate_v half_o a_o year_n and_o throw_v out_o of_o the_o church_n and_o shall_v not_o be_v receive_v into_o the_o church_n again_o but_o upon_o great_a humiliation_n this_o be_v the_o judgement_n of_o divine_n in_o all_o age_n and_o it_o be_v the_o observation_n of_o a_o reverend_a divine_a musculus_fw-la upon_o exod._n 20._o god_n do_v not_o say_v remember_v the_o sabbath_n to_o keep_v it_o holy_a he_o that_o keep_v it_o a_o hour_n or_o two_o keep_v it_o holy_a but_o remember_v the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o keep_v it_o holy_a he_o will_v have_v a_o day_n keep_v holy_a nay_o calvin_n who_o they_o take_v to_o be_v on_o their_o side_n to_o be_v a_o patron_n of_o their_o liberty_n he_o himself_o write_v upon_o deut._n 6_o upon_o these_o word_n remember_v the_o sabbath_n day_n he_o say_v we_o be_v to_o keep_v this_o day_n speak_v of_o himself_o and_o all_o the_o people_n of_o god_n we_o be_v to_o keep_v this_o day_n and_o not_o a_o part_n of_o it_o but_o all_o of_o it_o the_o second_o use_n be_v this_o we_o may_v hence_o see_v that_o sport_n and_o pastime_n be_v not_o use_v 2_o agreeable_a to_o the_o lord_n day_n for_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v forbid_v our_o weekly_a work_n on_o that_o day_n then_o sure_o he_o have_v forbid_v sport_n and_o pastime_n the_o reason_n be_v good_a first_o because_o our_o weekly_a work_n be_v thing_n command_v at_o other_o time_n now_o sport_n and_o pastime_n be_v never_o command_v by_o god_n but_o only_o permit_v now_o if_o thing_n command_v and_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a at_o sometime_o if_o these_o notwithstanding_o may_v not_o be_v do_v upon_o the_o lord_n day_n then_o much_o less_o must_v those_o be_v do_v that_o be_v permit_v only_o second_o because_o weekly_a work_n do_v less_o distract_v a_o man_n from_o god_n than_o sport_n and_o pastime_n i_o appeal_v to_o any_o man_n here_o present_a if_o he_o be_v not_o more_o heavenly_a and_o better_o employ_v and_o less_o distract_v from_o good_a thought_n and_o gracious_a affection_n when_o he_o be_v plough_v or_o sow_v or_o thresh_v then_o when_o he_o be_v dice_v and_o card_v sport_n and_o pastime_n beat_v a_o man_n further_o off_o from_o religion_n and_o let_v a_o man_n go_v to_o prayer_n after_o sport_n and_o pastime_n he_o shall_v find_v himself_o more_o unfit_a and_o unaffected_a a_o great_a deal_n than_o he_o shall_v when_o he_o come_v from_o the_o work_n of_o his_o call_n now_o if_o those_o thing_n that_o do_v less_o distract_v from_o god_n worship_n and_o service_n be_v forbid_v upon_o the_o sabbath_n day_n then_o sure_o much_o more_o those_o thing_n that_o do_v more_o distract_v must_v needs_o be_v forbid_v upon_o that_o day_n the_o end_n
